Evaporation
is the resultant effect of the sun on the exposed surface water from lakes,
rivers, streams, seas and oceans

transpiration from the vegetation will rise to the atmosphere in form of water
vapour.

this vapour travels to higher altitudes in the atmosphere. It becomes laden
with moisture due to lower temperature prevailing at these great altitudes that
is to say that the higher we go, the lower it becomes. The water vapour later
condensed and falls to the ground as rain, hail and snow etc.

A
portion of the accumulated rain water will flow as surface runoff in to the
streams, rivers and lakes. By and large some of this water will infiltrate into
the ground to form ground water above the water bearing impervious strata. This
rather it flows in the direction of the downward slope of the ground water
table. As a result of this continuous movement, the water will again emerge at
the surface either as outflow in a river, lake or in the form of a spring.

In
the same manners, water in the rivers, oceans, lakes etc. is returned to the
atmosphere through the process of evaporation. The cycle goes on and on.

In
summary, the natural phenomenon of the hydrological cycle or water cycle
provide that water from surface sources evaporates, plants in the process of
transpiration lose water, water from underground evaporates into the
atmosphere. It condenses forming large visible droplets and under favorable
meteorological condition, it falls back to the earth surface in form of
precipitation which may be either snow, dew or rain which forms sources of
water in most rural community.
